KENYA SAFARI BOOKING

7 DAYS MASAI MARA/ LAKE NAKURU/ SAMBURU

Day 1: Nairobi - Masai Mara
After breakfast, we will pick you up from your Nairobi hotel and thereafter depart for
Masai Mara Game Reserve via the viewpoint of the Great Rift Valley, lunch enroute.
Arrive in time for an evening game drive in this pristine, unequalled ‘big game country’.
Dinner and overnight at the campsite.

Day 2: Masai Mara
This will be a day of tracking game with your guide, after an early breakfast. The Mara’s
landscape is scenic savannah grassland on rolling hills, which enables the reserve to
attract sufficient rainfall to maintain and support a large population of herbivores,
together with the predators that follow. Elephant, lion, buffalo can be seen with relative
ease though luck is a necessary factor for spotting rhino and leopard that complete the
big five as the two animals are very timid and sparsely numbered. Plains game like
wildebeest, zebra and Masai giraffe abound as well as hippos and a wide variety of
antelopes including impala, dik dik, hartebeest, Grant’s gazelle and Thompson’s gazelle
among others. We will cater for a picnic lunch at the hippo pool. In the evening, return to
the campsite for dinner and an overnight stay.

Day 3 Masai mara
After breakfast, another morning of tracking game with your guide in this reserve which
borders Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park and is the annual seasonal scene of the
migration of close to 800,000 zebra and wildebeest that occurs between the two parks.
Lunch at the campsite. In the afternoon there is a choice between a game drive and a
nature walk escorted by our armed Masai guides. At extra cost you may visit a local
Masai village to see their nomadic lifestyle; the Masai are famous for their bravery, as
they have co-existed with the animals over the years. All meals and overnight at the
campsite.

Day 4: Masai Mara - Nakuru
After breakfast, leave Masai Mara for Nakuru with a stop for lunch enroute, with scenic
views of Lake Naivasha and Mt. Longonot, which are in the Great Rift from afar on the main highway.
Dinner and overnight at the campsite

Day 5: Lake Nakuru - Samburu
After breakfast a morning game drive will follow in Lake Nakuru National Park, the
abode of various water birds that breed in the lake’s salty water including flamingos,
white pelicans and marabou stork; white rhino may be seen as well as the rare
Rothschild’s giraffe, cape buffalo and other plains game in this park that is 188 square
kilometres. Depart for Samburu Game Reserve for dinner and overnight at the campsite
via the Thompson Falls, which are named after Joseph Thompson, one of the first
European explorers who walked from Mombasa to Lake Victoria in the 1880’s.
Lunch and game drive enroute.

Day 6 Samburu
Morning and afternoon game-viewing sessions tracking the rare, drought resistant
animals species which can only be seen north of the equator; these are: the reticulated
giraffe, grevy’s zebra, the gerenuk or giraffe-gazelle, Beisa Oryx and the blue shanked
Somali ostrich. The Ewaso Nyiro River traverses this park, it’s source being the
Aberdare ranges. There are therefore very high chances of spotting crocodile in a natural
environment though its water level varies seasonally. You will have a lunch and leisure
break in the mid afternoon. Rest of meals and overnight at the campsite.

Day 7: Samburu - Nairobi
After breakfast, depart Samburu for Nairobi, lunch enroute, with scenic views of Mt.
Kenya’s peak if the weather permits. Very pleasant countryside with tea and coffee
plantations will be by-passed enroute to Nairobi. Arrive in the evening.
